Postavljanje i prva upotreba

1. Raspakivanje: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Ensure all parts are present: machine, portafilter, single filter basket, double filter basket, and measuring scoop/tamper.
2. Početno čišćenje: Wash the water tank, portafilter, and filter baskets with warm water and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp tkanina.
3. Pozicioniranje: Place the machine on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface, away from water sources and heat.
4. Napunite rezervoar za vodu: Remove the 46-ounce water tank from the back of the machine. Fill it with fresh, cold water up to the MAX line. Replace the tank securely.
5. Prajming mašine:
   • Provjerite da portafilter nije pričvršćen.
   • Stavite praznu šolju ispod glave za pripremu kafe.
   • Plug in the machine and press the ON/OFF button. The power indicator light will illuminate.
   • Once the ready indicator light illuminates, turn the selector dial to the coffee cup symbol (brew position). Water will dispense. Let approximately 4 ounces of water run through. Turn the selector dial back to the OFF position.
   • Repeat this process for the steam wand: place a cup under the steam wand, turn the selector dial to the steam symbol, and open the steam knob. Let steam release for a few seconds, then close the steam knob and turn the selector dial to OFF.
   This primes the pump and heating system.

Uputstvo za upotrebu

Pravljenje espresa

1. Pripremite talog kafe: Use fresh, finely ground espresso coffee. For best results, grind beans just before brewing. The grind should be fine enough to offer resistance to water flow but not so fine as to block it.
2. Napunite korpu filtera: Insert the desired filter basket (single or double) into the portafilter. Use the measuring scoop to add ground coffee. For a single shot, use one level scoop (approx. 7g). For a double shot, use two level scoops (approx. 14g).
3. Tamp kafa: Lagano tamp the coffee grounds with the flat side of the measuring scoop. Ensure the surface is level. Do not over-tamp, as this can restrict water flow.
4. Pričvrstite portafilter: Align the portafilter with the INSERT position on the brew head. Insert the portafilter and turn it firmly to the right until it locks into the LOCK position.
5. Place Cups: Postavite jednu ili dvije šoljice za espreso na posudu za kapanje direktno ispod izljeva portafiltera.
6. Skuvajte espresso: Ensure the machine is powered on and the ready indicator light is illuminated. Turn the selector dial to the coffee cup symbol (brew position). Espresso will begin to flow.
7. Prekinite kuhanje: Once the desired amount of espresso is brewed (typically 1-1.5 oz for a single, 2-3 oz for a double), turn the selector dial back to the OFF position. Promptly remove cups.
8. Uklonite portafilter: After brewing, carefully turn the portafilter to the left to unlock and remove it. Be cautious as it may still be hot. Discard used coffee grounds.

Frothing Milk for Cappuccinos and Lattes

1. Pripremite mlijeko: Napunite vrč za pjenjenje od nehrđajućeg čelika hladnim mlijekom (mliječnim ili biljnim) do otprilike jedne trećine.
2. Toplota za paru: Ensure the machine is powered on. Turn the selector dial to the steam symbol. The steam indicator light will illuminate. Wait for the ready indicator light to illuminate again, indicating the machine has reached steaming temperature.
3. Čišćenje parne cijevi: Position the steam wand over the drip tray. Open the steam knob briefly to release any condensed water. Close the steam knob.
4. Pjenasto mlijeko: Immerse the tip of the steam wand just below the surface of the milk. Open the steam knob fully.
   • Za frothed milk (cappuccino), keep the tip near the surface to incorporate air, creating foam.
   • Za steamed milk (latte), immerse the tip deeper into the milk to heat it without creating excessive foam.
   Continue until the milk reaches the desired temperature and texture. The pitcher will become hot to the touch.
5. Zaustavite kuhanje na pari: Close the steam knob, then turn the selector dial back to the OFF position.
6. Očistite parnu cijev: Odmah obrišite cijev za paru oglasnomamp krpom kako biste spriječili isušivanje ostataka mlijeka. Ponovo nakratko otvorite dugme za paru kako biste uklonili mlijeko iz unutrašnjosti cijevi.

Njega i održavanje

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure optimal performance and longevity of your espresso machine.

• Dnevno čišćenje:
  • Portafilter i filter korpe: After each use, remove the portafilter, discard grounds, and rinse the portafilter and filter basket under hot water. Use a small brush to clean any coffee residue.
  • Posuda za kapanje: Empty and rinse the drip tray and grid daily or when the indicator floats up.
  • Štapić za paru: Always wipe the steam wand immediately after frothing milk. Purge steam through the wand to clear any internal milk residue.
  • Spremnik za vodu: Empty and rinse the water tank daily. Refill with fresh water for each use.
• Eksterijerno čišćenje: Obrišite spoljašnjost mašine mekom krpom, damp tkanina. Nemojte koristiti abrazivna sredstva za čišćenje ili jastučiće za ribanje.
• Uklanjanje kamenca: Mineral deposits from water can build up over time, affecting machine performance. Descale your machine every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you have hard water. Use a commercial descaling solution specifically designed for espresso machines, following the product's instructions. Alternatively, a solution of white vinegar and water (1:2 ratio) can be used. Run the descaling solution through the brew head and steam wand, then rinse thoroughly with several cycles of fresh water.
